“Nobody will stop you from creating. Do it tonight. Do it tomorrow. That is the way to make your soul grow.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
ART MENTORING
Individual 60-minute sessions held on zoom, available in English and Spanish.
Building a fulfilling art practice is about nurturing a deep connection to our creativity, while fostering skills and resources to share it with the world. Along the way, we might feel stuck, blocked, or unsure of our next steps. Sometimes, what we need is new tools to turn these challenges into growth opportunities.
Imagine a creative practice that feels deeply connected and authentic, where you trust the process, enjoy the work, and continuously discover new aspects of yourself through your art. Even in moments of self-doubt or fear, you can still move forward with confidence, knowing your creativity will guide you. If this resonates with you, I’d love to support your journey.
Creativity demands trust and a willingness to face the unknown. This trust is built from within and is strengthened through practice. My one-on-one sessions focus on where you are now, where you want to go, and how to align your career goals with your artistic vision. By addressing creative blocks and anxieties, you’ll unlock your flow and take meaningful action.
To build confidence in our practice, we must cultivate pillars of trust—trust in ourselves, our work, and the process.
*For artists based in Vancouver, in-person studio visits may be available as part of these sessions.

TESTIMONIALS:
"The grant writing exercise was amazing—I got so much insight from writing together and discovered a genuine way to express myself. I love how Guadalupe is attentive to the state of mind and point out tension and anxiety in a direct and caring way. I’ve been thinking about how the mind tends to generate blockages and obstacles, and how little attention we pay to it. Shifting the mindset has been something I feel is needed in both art practice and life. Guadalupe's insights in this area are unique and invaluable in our paths of self-discovery as artists" "The mentorship has offered me space and support to dive deep into inner wisdom, and to be honest and gentle with myself. I have become more aware of moments when self-criticism and judgment become blockages to my work, using embodied practices to shift to a caring, relaxed, and focused mindset, allowing insights and creativity to flow. I have discovered a deeper sense of engagement when working with materials, learning to let go of control. I am cultivating a new understanding of being "productive" and allowing more space for emotional needs throughout the process. Guadalupe's guidance has helped me clarify the desires and ethos of my practice, offering insights that enhancing various writing needs, including artist statements and grant applications, making them more authentic and establishing a deeper connection with the reader. I would definitely recommend working with Guadalupe!" |
